User Experience vs. Human Experience

Human Experience Design Requires Context

What is Context, really?

Why does Context matter, really?

What I’m Going to Say



User Experience vs. Human Experience



Advice to UXD pro presenting to CEO…

Don’t use the term “users”. He won’t know

what you’re talking about.

Use “employees”.



My advice to you…

Stop thinking “user” and start thinking

people, customer, employee…human.



Human Experience Design Requires Context

Template by: Mel Edwards . design strategist . service & information designer



What is Context, really?



“As enterprises better understand the

interrelationship between roles,

collaboration, content, and business

processes, the need to provide information

within the context of an information worker's

daily activities will drive the implementation

of Information Workplaces.”

03/2006 – Forrester on Context as King



“Customer experience leaders... uniformly

attributed their breakthroughs to moving

away from a product innovation mindset

toward a customer-centered approach to

doing business.”

02/2010 – Forrester on CE

Why does Context matter, really?



Company Mission:

We must act in the customer’s best interest…

helpful, courteous and quick to follow up.

Employees closest to the customer should have

ample resources and authority to be the best at

serving customers.

We must exceed customers’ expectations and

constantly make it easier for them to do business

with us.

What can you do? Get Contextual.



What is the challenge you’re addressing?

Why is this a challenge?

Who is facing the challenge and who is affected by it?

Where are they when they encounter the challenge?

How is the challenge currently being addressed?

Ask Questions: Get the whole story



Contextual

Interviews: Q&A the field –

know the rules

Experience the experience

Shadowing:field observation

– watch, listen

and document



Map it Out: Simple is Okay
